Tbh I wasn’t even a Robert fan but I think anyone saying it was rigged doesn’t realize just how many fans he has. He is one of the most universally loved people on this planet and he comes from a universally loved family that people of all ages know about

Alix was obviously great and she would have been a deserving winner, but saying the race was rigged is severely underestimating Robert’s fanbase, and he was a very good dancer as well. Both of them deserved to win, but Robert’s fanbase is just too massive

EXACTLY! And also it’s so rude to say it’s rigged because that implies Robert wasn’t deserving, which he most definitely was deserving of that mirror ball.

I think I’m more pissed off at the fact that people openly didn’t watch the show and voted for him anyways. Like I can possibly get if you’re asked by a friend to vote for someone, but just voting for Robert with no substantial reason to me is kinda bs. And I’m sure it happens w other people but not as significant as it did w him

and that’s totally fair but literally before the season even started i knew he was gonna win because of how many fans he has, many of them probably voting for him without even watching. idk about everyone else but that’s what i mean when i say it was “rigged”, this show is just a popularity contest at this point and i could talk for hours about it lmao

like I hope next year the maybe implement an app that lets u score the dances as each one happens to collect votes in a more proper way! And you can only score a dance until the next dance starts

yeah i think an app would be better bc people were literally making like 50 emails to vote for one person. like something like the love island app only allows you to vote once. and people are less likely to download an app just to vote for their friends favorite

That’s just a feature of the fan vote. Many contestants have their own fanbase that at least partially consists of people who vote for them without watching the show. Alix has millions of social media followers, Jordan has gymnastics fans, Dylan’s brother Zac Efron posted on his social media for people to vote for Dylan, etc. You can dislike the fact that the public can vote because of this issue, but having non-viewers vote/being very popular isn’t unique to Robert and it doesn’t make it rigged

Like I also knew that he would win from Week 1 because of the fan vote, but that doesn’t mean I discredit his win. He won fair and square. I personally just think that the fan vote should be weighed less, but they’re two separate issues. And of course we should encourage popular celebs to come on the show so the show become more popular. Like I don’t think it’s necessarily a bad thing to have popular celebs on, it’s just a matter of weighting the fan vote better in my opinion.

Agreed! So many people are trying to discredit his win and it makes me so sad. It’s not his fault he’s famous lol
